Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cat trapping and containment device used to trap and contain cats. [Background technology]

[0002] Cats have sharp claws and fangs, and it is difficult to capture and hold an aggressive or irritable cat directly with bare hands. Therefore, in order to calm the cat, a cat capture and containment device has been proposed that captures and contains the cat with the opening of a bag made of a net-like material (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3237060 (Figure 4, etc.) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Examples of purposes for capturing and containing cats include capturing stray cats to protect them, or taking them to a veterinary clinic to treat injuries or administer vaccinations. To do this, medical professionals must safely and securely restrain the captured cats. However, the cat capture and containment devices of the prior art described above are entirely made of a net-like bag, making them vulnerable to claws and fangs, making safe restraint difficult. On the other hand, if the bag were made of a thick fabric, the increased weight and reduced breathability would make it difficult to capture the cats.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a cat capturing and containing device that can easily capture cats and safely restrain them. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a cat capturing and containing device having a capturing device and a container, wherein the capturing device has a capturing opening for taking in the cat to be captured, a first connecting opening on the side for connecting the container, and a first line fastener for opening and closing the first connecting opening, and the container has a second connecting opening for connecting the capturing device and a second line fastener for opening and closing the second connecting opening, wherein the first connecting opening and the second connecting opening are configured to be approximately the same shape and dimensions as each other, and the first line fastener when the first connecting opening is open and the second line fastener when the second connecting opening is open are configured to be able to interlock with each other.

[0007] According to the present invention having the above configuration, by closing the first fastener alone, only the capture opening is opened, turning the trap into a bag-like structure with specialized functions for capturing cats, allowing the trap to be easily captured by itself. Then, by opening the first fastener and engaging it with the second fastener to connect the first and second connection openings, the cat inside the trap can be easily moved into the container. This container, which has specialized functions for treating cats, allows for easy restraint of the cat. As a result, by using the cat trapping and containment device of the present invention, both ease of capturing cats and safety of the restraint operation can be achieved. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to achieve both ease of capturing cats and safety in restraining them. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, a person skilled in the art may adopt an embodiment in which each of the following components is replaced with an equivalent, and such an embodiment is also within the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, explanations of unimportant well-known technical matters will be omitted or simplified as appropriate to facilitate understanding of the present invention.

[0011] <Overall configuration of the embodiment> Fig. 1 shows the overall appearance of the cat capturing and containing device of this embodiment when it is connected together, and Fig. 2 shows the overall appearance of the cat capturing and containing device when it is disassembled into a capturing tool and a containing tool. In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the cat capturing and containing device 1 of this embodiment has a capturing tool 2 and a containing tool 3.

[0012] The capturing device 2 is made almost entirely of a net-like fabric and is formed into a roughly cylindrical body having a capturing opening 20a on one side (the right side in the figure) and a first connecting opening 20b on the other side (the left side in the figure). A capturing fastener 21 and a capturing side connecting fastener 22, which are completely separable fasteners, are provided on the edge of the capturing opening 20a and the edge of the first connecting opening 20b, respectively, and by closing them, the openings can be closed and the capturing device 2 can be made into a bag shape. Note that the capturing side connecting fastener 22 is also used for communication and connection with the container 3, as will be described in detail later. The capturing side connecting fastener 22 corresponds to the first line fastener, and the capturing fastener 21 corresponds to the capturing line fastener.

[0013] The capturing device 2 is provided with a purse string 24, which is a belt with a bundling string 23 threaded circumferentially, at a position slightly closer to the first connection opening 20b from the center position in the axial direction. By pulling the bundling string 23 radially, the inner diameter of the purse string 24 can be narrowed, and the inner diameter of the purse string 24 can also be widened to return the bundling string 23 to its original position.

[0014] The container 3 has an air vent tube 31 located on one side (the right side in the figure) and a storage bag 32 located on the other side (the left side in the figure) that are integrally connected. The air vent tube 31 is entirely made of a net-like fabric and is formed into a generally cylindrical shape with a second connection opening 31a on one side (the right side in the figure). The storage bag 32 is an approximately bag-shaped body entirely made of a thick fabric, and the opening on one side (the right side in the figure) is fixedly connected by sewing or the like so that the opening on the other side (the left side in the figure) of the air vent tube 31 is in communication with the opening on the other side (the left side in the figure). A completely separable storage-side connection fastener 33 is provided on the edge of the second connection opening 31a, and by closing this fastener alone, the second connection opening 31a is closed, making the interior of the entire container 3 bag-like. Note that the storage-side connection fastener 33 is also used for communication with the capture device 2, as will be described in detail later. The use and function of the above-mentioned completely separable fasteners 21, 22, 33 will be described in detail later. The housing side connection fastener 33 corresponds to the second line fastener.

[0015] As shown in enlarged cross-sectional view A, the fabric constituting the storage bag portion 32 has a strong lining 32a, such as a rubber sheet, that is elastic and impervious to cat claws and fangs. The storage bag portion 32 of the container 3 is provided with a central body opening zipper 34 and an end body opening zipper 35, each extending along a semicircle, at the center in the communication axis direction and at the other end. Both the central body opening zipper 34 and the end body opening zipper 35 are equipped with two opposing sliders and can be opened to any desired extent, and the method of using these two opposing slider type zippers 34, 35 will be described in detail later.

[0016] Furthermore, in the container 3, a purse string 36 having a configuration equivalent to the purse string 24 of the capturing device 2 and through which a bundling string 37 is passed is provided at the center position in the axial direction of the ventilation cylinder 31.

[0017] <Detailed configuration and usage of fully separable fasteners> As explained above, the cat capture and containment device of this embodiment is equipped with two types of fasteners: a completely separable fastener (capture fastener 21, capture side connection fastener 22, and containment side connection fastener 33) and two opposing slider type fasteners (central body opening fastener 34 and end side body opening fastener 35). Below, we will explain how to use the completely separable fasteners, capture fastener 21, capture side connection fastener 22, and containment side connection fastener 33, in this embodiment.

[0018] The fully separable fastener provided in this embodiment can be used in two ways: as shown in Figure 3, a single fastener can be used to close an opening, and as shown in Figure 4, two fasteners can be combined to connect two openings in communication.

[0019] 3(a) shows a completely separable fastener, such as the housing-side connecting fastener 33, in a state where it has been completely opened and separated. A completely separable fastener has two independent tapes 33a and 33b of the same length arranged almost parallel to each other, and each tape has rows of teeth 33c and 33d, each with a number of teeth arranged on its opposing edges. A slider 33e is engaged with row of teeth 33d on the right side of the figure, and a box 33f is provided at the bottom end of row of teeth 33d on the right side of the figure, and an insert pin 33g is provided at the bottom end of row of teeth 33c on the left side of the figure.

[0020] When using this completely separable fastener for closing alone, as shown in FIG. 3(b), insert the insert pin 33g into the slider 33e and box 33f, then move the slider 33e to engage the two tooth rows 33c and 33d. Then, by moving the slider 33e all the way to the other end, the opening can be completely closed, as shown in FIG. 3(c). Although not specifically shown, the two tooth rows 33c and 33d can be easily separated by returning the slider 33e to the starting point, box 33f, and removing the insert pin 33g. In this example, the tooth row 33c on the tape 33a on the left side of the figure corresponds to the left second tooth row, the tooth row 33d on the tape 33b on the right side of the figure corresponds to the right second tooth row, and the slider 33e corresponds to the second slider.

[0021] 4(a) shows the combination of the capturing side connection fastener 22 and the receiving side connection fastener 33, with these two completely separable fasteners completely open and separated. The capturing side connection fastener 22 and the receiving side connection fastener 33 are completely separable fasteners configured with the same shape and dimensions, and when they are facing each other, the coupling tooth rows 22d, 33d, on which the boxes 22f, 33f and sliders 22e, 33e of the original fasteners 22, 33 are provided, are arranged axially opposite the coupling tooth rows 22c, 33c, on which the insert pins 22g, 33g of the mating fastener are provided.

[0022] Between the two fasteners 22, 33 arranged in this way, the insert pins 22g, 33g of the mating fasteners can be inserted into the sliders 22e, 33e and boxes 22f, 33f of the respective fasteners, and the sliders 22e, 33e can be moved as shown in Figure 4(b). In other words, the combinations of the two sets of coupling teeth 22c, 22d, 33c, 33d can be used to interlock and engage with each other. This allows the edges of the two openings, the first connection opening 20b of the capturing device 2 to which the capturing-side connection fastener 22 is fixed, and the second connection opening 31a of the receiving device 3 to which the receiving-side connection fastener 33 is fixed, to be connected over almost the entire circumferential direction. In other words, the capturing device 2 and the receiving device 3 are connected so that the inner diameters of their openings are connected (see Figure 1 above). Furthermore, although not shown, by returning each slider 22e, 33e to the starting boxes 22f, 33f and removing the insert pins 22g, 33g, it is possible to easily completely separate the four tooth rows 22c, 22d, 33c, 33d and separate the capturing device 2 and the container 3. In this example, the tooth row 22c provided on the tape 22a on the left side in the drawing of the capturing side connecting fastener 22 corresponds to the left first tooth row, the tooth row 22d provided on the tape 22b on the right side in the drawing corresponds to the right first tooth row, and the slider 22e corresponds to the first slider.

[0023] <Procedure for capturing and containing cats> An example of a procedure for capturing and containing a cat using the cat capturing and containing device 1 of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

[0024] First, when capturing a cat C, as shown in Figure 5(a), a standalone capture device 2 is used with the container 3 separated from the cat capturing and containing device 1. In this example, the capture side connection fastener 22 of the first connection opening 20b is open, and the capture fastener 21 of the capture opening 20a is closed, making the entire capture device 2 bag-like with only the first connection opening 20b open. At this time, the inner diameter of the drawstring part 24 is expanded. In this state, the entire capture device 2 is made of almost entirely net-like fabric, making it lightweight and breathable, so it can be easily placed over the target cat C through the first connection opening 20b to capture it, as shown in the figure.

[0025] In the cat capturing procedure of the example described above, the first connection opening 20b functions as the capture opening described in the claims. In addition to this example, the capture side connection fastener 22 of the first connection opening 20b may be closed, the capture fastener 21 may be opened, and the cat C may be captured by covering it from the capture opening 20a. In this case, the capture opening 20a functions as the capture opening described in the claims.

[0026] After capturing the cat C in the example of Fig. 5(a), the inner diameter of the drawstring part 24 can be narrowed as shown in Fig. 5(b) to close the entire capture device 2 into a bag-like shape, preventing the escape of the cat C. At this time, the capture-side connection fastener 22 of the first connection opening 20b can remain open while maintaining the contained state of the cat C.

[0027] 5(c), the capture device 2 and the container 3 are connected. At this time, the capture device 2 is configured to narrow the inner diameter of the drawstring portion 24 to securely contain the cat C, while the capture-side connection fastener 22 of the first connection opening 20b is opened, as described above. In addition, the container 3 is configured to open the container-side connection fastener 33 and expand the inner diameter of the drawstring portion 35, with the second connection opening 31a facing the first connection opening 20b of the capture device 2.

[0028] 5(d), the first connection opening 20b of the capture device 2 and the second connection opening 31a of the container 3 can be connected and communicated by interchanging and meshing the combinations of the tooth rows 22c, 22d, 33c, 33d of the capture-side connection fastener 22 and the container-side connection fastener 33, which are each a completely separable fastener. After that, by expanding the inner diameter of the drawstring part 24, the cat C in the capture device 2 can be reliably moved into the container 3 while maintaining the entire cat capturing and container device 1 in a closed state.

[0029] The inner diameter of the drawstring part 36 of the container 3 is then narrowed, allowing the capture device 2 and the container 3 to be separated (not shown) while ensuring that the cat C is contained within the container 3. At this time, even with the inner diameter of the drawstring part 36 narrowed, the internal space of the container bag part 32 is kept ventilated to the outside air via the net-like ventilation tube part 31 arranged axially between the drawstring part 36 and the container bag part 32, allowing the cat C inside the container bag part 32 to continue breathing. By then closing the container-side connecting fastener 33, the container 3 can still contain the cat C by itself, even if the inner diameter of the drawstring part 36 is expanded.

[0030] <How to use the container> Next, how to use the container 3 with the cat C contained therein will be described with reference to FIG.

[0031] First, as shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b), cat C is placed mainly inside the storage bag portion 32 within the container 3, and the inner diameter of the drawstring portion 36 is expanded. In this state, cat C is able to breathe as it is ventilated to the outside air through the ventilation tube portion 31 made of a net-like fabric. As described above, the storage bag portion 32 is a roughly bag-shaped body made entirely of thick fabric, and the fabric has a strong, elastic lining 32a that is impervious to the claws and fangs of cat C. Therefore, even if cat C struggles inside the storage bag portion 32, a person can safely and stably hold down and restrain cat C from outside the storage bag portion 32.

[0032] If it is desired to expose only a portion of Cat C's body to the outside, for example, for vaccination or treatment of an injured area, the center-side body opening zipper 34, which is a two-opposed slider-type zipper, can be opened to a desired extent, as shown in FIG. 6(a). Furthermore, if it is desired to expose only a key area of Cat C to the outside, the end-side body opening zipper 35, which is a two-opposed slider-type zipper similar to the center-side body opening zipper 34, can be opened to a desired extent, as shown in FIG. 6(b), to expose only the key area. Alternatively, the second connection opening 31a, surrounded by the net-like ventilation tube 31, may be opened slightly to expose a part of Cat C's body to the outside. This facilitates pre-visualization of a specific body part of Cat C to be treated, such as when administering eye drops to Cat C, and exposing only that part to the outside. As described above, while restraining Cat C's body from outside the storage bag 32, it is easy to expose only the desired part of Cat C's body, such as the affected area, or the key area, and perform the treatment procedure described above safely and easily.

[0033] <Effects of this embodiment> As described above, in the cat capturing and containing device 1 of this embodiment, the capturing device 2 is equipped with the first connection opening 20b (or capturing opening 20a) for taking in the cat C to be captured, the first connection opening 20b on the side to which the containing device 3 is connected, and the capturing-side connection fastener 22 for opening and closing the first connection opening 20b. The containing device 3 is also equipped with the second connection opening 31a for connecting the capturing device 2, and the containing-side connection fastener 33 for opening and closing the second connection opening 31a. The first connection opening 20b and the second connection opening 31a are configured to be substantially identical in shape and dimensions, and the capturing-side connection fastener 22 when the first connection opening 20b is open and the containing-side connection fastener 33 when the second connection opening 31a is open are configured to be interlockable with each other.

[0034] As a result, by closing the capture fastener 21 (or the capture side connection fastener 22) alone, only the first connection opening 20b (or the capture opening 20a) is opened, turning the capture device 2 into a bag-like state with a specialized function for capturing cat C, and the capture device 2 can easily capture cat C by itself. Then, by opening the capture side connection fastener 22 and engaging it with the storage side connection fastener 33 to connect the first connection opening 20b and the second connection opening 31a in communication, the cat C in the capture device 2 can be easily moved into the storage device 3. Then, in the storage device 3 with a specialized function for treating cat C, the task of restraining the cat C can be easily performed. As a result, by using the cat capturing and containing device 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to achieve both ease of capturing the cat C and safety in the restraining task.

[0035] In particular, in this embodiment, the capturing side connection fastener 22 and the receiving side connection fastener 33 are each a completely separable fastener, and can be closed individually and independently.

[0036] Furthermore, when the capturing side connection fastener 22 and the receiving side connection fastener 33 are engaged, the slider 22e engaged with one of the tooth rows 22c of the capturing side connection fastener 22 is engaged with the other tooth row 33c of the receiving side connection fastener 33, and by moving the slider 22e, the one tooth row 22c and the other tooth row 33c can be combined to close the fastener.

[0037] In addition, the slider 33e engaged with one of the tooth rows 33d of the receiving side connection fastener 33 can be engaged with the other tooth row 22d of the capturing side connection fastener 22, and by moving the slider 33e, the one tooth row 33d and the other tooth row 22d can be combined to close the fastener.

[0038] As a result, the capture side connection fastener 22 and the storage side connection fastener 33 can be used for closing the trapping device 2 and the storage device 3 independently, and can also be used to connect the trapping device 2 and the storage device 3. As a result, the cat capturing and storage device 1 can be freely changed in shape using fasteners, which are mechanical elements with a simple configuration.

[0039] Furthermore, particularly in this embodiment, the trapping device 2 may further have a trapping fastener 21 that opens and closes the trapping opening 20a, and with the trapping side connecting fastener 22 closing the first connecting opening 20b, the trapping opening 20a may be opened by the trapping fastener 21, and the target cat C may be taken into the trapping device 2 through the opened trapping opening 20a. This allows the entire trapping device 2 to be bag-shaped, and the target cat C can be quickly captured by placing the trapping fastener 21 over the open trapping opening 20a, and then closing the trapping fastener 21 to ensure that the cat C is contained.

[0040] <Modification> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and technical concept of the present invention. Such modifications will be described in order. The same reference numerals will be used to designate parts equivalent to those in the above-described embodiment, and descriptions will be omitted or simplified as appropriate.

[0041] <When using a tamo frame> In the above embodiment, the bag-shaped trapping device 2 was directly used to trap the target cat C. Alternatively, a landing net 4 as shown in Fig. 7 may be used to trap the cat C. The landing net 4 has a support frame 41 that is connected to the first connection opening 20b of the trapping device 2 and fixed in an open state, and a handle 42 that is held by the person trapping the cat C.

[0042] The support frame 41 has an approximately isosceles triangular opening frame 41a and an approximately triangular tubular portion 41b made of fabric. The opening of the approximately triangular tubular portion 41b opposite the opening frame 41a is provided with a frame-side connection fastener 41c that can be connected to the capture-side connection fastener 22 of the capture device 2. Although not shown, metal frame rods run through each of the isosceles sides of the opening frame 41a. The lower ends 41d of these two frame rods are switched between an engaged state and a free state with respect to a locking claw 41f that operates within a metal hub 41e (see enlarged view B). When both frame rods are locked in the engaged state at the hub 41e, the entire opening frame 41a is maintained in an expanded, isosceles triangular shape as shown in FIG. 7(a). When both frame rods are in a free state at the hub 41e, the entire opening frame 41a can be folded into a small, folded shape as shown in FIG. 7(b).

[0043] In addition, a handle portion 42 is fixed to the lower end of the hub 41e, and the entire handle portion 42 can be extended or retracted by rotating it to loosen the fastening state inside multiple rotating handles 42a located at a midpoint in the longitudinal direction, and the entire length of the handle portion 42 can be fixed by rotating it to tighten the fastening state inside each rotating handle 42a.

[0044] In the example shown in FIG. 7(a), the entire support frame 41 is opened in the shape of an approximately isosceles triangle, and the capture device 2 is connected to the approximately triangular tubular portion 41b. The handle 42 is also in its maximum extended state. In this state, a person capturing a cat C can grasp the handle 42, capture the cat C through the opening of the support frame 41, and take it into the capture device 2. This is particularly suitable for capturing a cat C from a high place out of the reach of the capturer, or from a place hidden in a gap. Then, by freeing the frame rods at the hub 41e and shortening the entire handle 42 to its shortest length, the entire cat frame 4 can be folded into a small volume as shown in FIG. 7(b).

[0045] In the above configuration, the landing frame 4 can be interpreted as an attachment that adds a remote capture function to the capture device 2, that is, the entirety of these, including the landing frame 4 connected to the capture device 2, corresponds to the capture device.

[0046] As described above, in this modified example, the capture device 2 connected to the landing net frame 4 has a support frame 41 that fixes the first connection opening 20b in an open state, and a handle 42 that is connected to the support frame 41 and is held by the capturer. The handle 42 is connected to the support frame 41 so as to be in a foldable shape, and is configured to be extendable and contractible in the longitudinal direction.

[0047] This allows the trapping device 2 connected to the landing net frame 4 to be configured appropriately for capturing a cat C from a high place out of the reach of the trapper or a place hidden in a gap, and also makes it possible to fold the entire device into a small volume when not in use.

[0048] If the weight during capture and the inconvenience of handling are not a concern, the container 3 may be directly connected in communication with the landing net 4 instead of the capture device 2 (not shown).

[0049] <When capturing with a separate trap> In the above embodiment and modified example, the catcher himself / herself moves around the catcher 2 to catch the cat C. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 8, the cat C may be caught in a separately prepared catcher H, and then taken from the catcher H into the catcher 2.

[0050] The trap H in the example shown in Figure 8(a) is composed of a cage with a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is provided with an opening / closing door Ha at the end face on the front side of the figure that closes when a cat C enters inside. The large-diameter cylindrical part 5, which can take in and store the entire trap H from an opening 51 on one side, is connected to the first connecting opening 20b of the trap 2 at an opening 52 on the other side via a large-diameter side connecting fastener 53. The large-diameter cylindrical part 5 itself is also made of a net-like fabric.

[0051] After the large diameter cylindrical portion 5 has taken in the trap H, the entire trap H is lifted upward and hung by the handle Hb as shown in Figure 8(b), and the cat C is moved downward through the open opening door Ha so as to drop into the inside of the trap 2.

[0052] The handle Hb used in this example is prepared separately from the capture device H, and is configured such that a semicircular fixed half-ring Hb2 is fixed to each end of a gripping string Hb1 of an appropriate length, and further, a semicircular rotating half-ring Hb5 integral with a rotating claw Hb4 is rotatably mounted on this fixed half-ring Hb2 via a hinge Hb3 (see enlarged view C).

[0053] During use, the entire handle Hb can be fixed to the trap H by opening and closing the rotating claws Hb4 on each end to grip the wire mesh of the trap H between the two half rings Hb2 and Hb5. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8(a), by piercing both ends of the handle Hb through the netting near the opening 51 of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 5 and then fixing it to the trap H, the trap H and the large-diameter cylindrical portion 5 can be lifted simultaneously by pulling up the handle Hb. In the example shown, the handle Hb is fixed to the end face opposite the opening door Ha so that the opening door Ha is positioned downward when the trap H is hung, but the handle Hb can also be fixed to various positions on the trap H to hang it in a variety of positions (not shown).

[0054] In the above configuration, the large diameter cylindrical portion 5 can be interpreted as an attachment that adds the function of connecting the capture device H to the capture device 2, i.e., the entirety of these, including the large diameter cylindrical portion 5 connected to the capture device 2, corresponds to the capture device.

[0055] As described above, in this modified example, the trap 2 is configured to store the trap H that has already captured the target cat C through the trap opening 20a or the first connection opening 20b, and to be able to capture the cat C that has escaped from the trap H by opening the outlet of the stored trap H through the outer skin of the trap 2. This allows the task of capturing the cat C to be easily performed using the trap H, and the cat C can be captured into the trap 2 through the large-diameter cylindrical portion 5 that stores the trap H.

[0056] If the weight and the inconvenience of handling during capture are not a concern, the container 3 may be directly connected in communication with the large-diameter cylindrical portion 5 instead of the capture device 2 (not shown).

[0057] Although not specifically shown, in the above-described embodiments and variants, by providing fasteners on each fastener of the cat capturing and containing device 1, the corresponding openings can be easily and reliably fixed in a closed state.

[0058] The above-described procedure is merely an example, and at least some of the above procedures may be deleted or changed, or other procedures may be added.
